Laws leading to Dalton's Atomic Theory Name _________________________ Period _____ Date ______________ 1. Lavosier noticed when reactions were conducted in closed containers, there was never any change in mass. In the reaction 2Mg + O2 2MgO, two units of magnesium (a silvery metal) react with 1 unit of oxygen (a clear gas) to yield 2 units of magnesium oxide (a white powder). 48.6 grams of magnesium (Mg) will react with 32.0 grams of oxygen (O2), to yield 80.6 grams of magnesium oxide (MgO). There were 80.6 grams of reactants (Mg and O2) and 80.6 grams of product (MgO). So the mass of the stuff you start with (the reactants) is always the same as the mass of the stuff you end up with (the products). Thus, the law of conservation of mass, which states matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. 2. Proust noticed that proportion of the masses of any given compound is always the same. If you have 80.6 grams of MgO, 6/10's of it's mass is magnesium (48.6 g) and 4/10's of its mass is oxygen (32.0 g). If you had 100 grams of MgO, 60 grams (6/10) would be magnesium (60 g) and 40 grams (4/10) would be oxygen (40 g). The ratio of the masses never varies. Thus the law of definite proportions, which states that the mass ratio of the components of a given substance is always the same. 3. Dalton noticed that when more than one substance is made from the same elements, the ratio of the component masses varies by small whole number multiples. This implies that each component is made of discrete particles with a certain mass. We now call these particles atoms. The mass of one unit of water, H2O, is 18.0 g. (2 g hydrogen and 16 g oxygen) The mass of one unit of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is 34 g (2 g hydrogen and 32 g oxygen). H mass in H2O 2g H mass in H2O2 2g mass ratio of H of the two substances 1:1 O mass in H2O 16 g O mass in H2O2 32 g mass ratio of O of the two substances 1:2 (the masses vary by a small whole number factor: 2) Thus the law of multiple proportions, which states that when different substances are made of the same elements, their mass ratios always differ by small, whole number multiples. 3. Spectroscopy Lab: Electrons in Atoms _________________________ Name Period _____ Date ______________ Introduction An element's atoms have a unique arrangement of electrons. Because of this, when energy (like heat or electricity) is applied to them, the electrons will absorb specific quantities of this energy and undergo a brief "quantum leap" to a higher energy level, then return to their more stable original "ground state." As the electrons return to this ground state, the atoms emit the energy they had absorbed as discrete colors of light. Each element emits a characteristic pattern of light which correlates with its unique electron structure. This characteristic pattern (called emission spectrum) of emitted light can be used to identify elements. Today you will examine emission spectra of pure elemental gases excited by electricity. Then you will use your collected data to identify three unknowns. Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Obtain a spectroscope. Go to each of the stations with gas discharge tubes. Hold the spectroscope so the lines produced are vertical. Look at the spectrum that is produced on the left side. Draw what you see with colored pencils. Helium (He) ____________________ Hydrogen (H) ____________________ Mercury (Hg) ____________________ Neon (Ne) ____________________ Krypton (Kr) ____________________ Other (________) ____________________ 6. Once you have the spectra of the "knowns" illustrated, draw the spectra of the "unknowns" (X, Y, and Z). Compare these spectra with those above to identify the unknown elements. X ____________________ Identity: Y ____________________ Identity: Z ____________________ Identity: Questions 1. What equipment did you use to observe each element's emission spectrum? 2. Why can emission spectra be used to identify elements? Atoms (Chapter 2) Reading Guide Name _________________________ Period _____ Date ______________ 1.

Atomic Components Worksheet Name ______________________________ Period _____ Date ___________________ Complete the following table. The first three are done as examples. Atomic number is given on the periodic table and equals the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons In a negative ion (a charged atom), the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons. In a positive ion, the number of electrons is less than the number of protons Mass number is the number of particles with mass (protons + neutrons). The number of neutrons must be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. If the mass number is not provided, round off the atomic mass given on the periodic table. If a complete symbol is provided, the subscript before the element symbol is the atomic number and the superscript before the element symbol is the mass number.

How does the modern atomic theory differ from Dalton's atomic theory. (There are 2 main differences.) 2. What is the atomic number of an element? 3. For a given element, do all atoms have the same atomic number? 4. What is the mass number of an element? 5. For a given element, do all atoms have the same mass number? 6.

Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, and thus they have different masses. Essential Concepts Chapter 2: Atomic Structure Obj 2.1 Define the term atom An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical identity of that element. Obj 2.2 Relate historic experiments to the development of the modern model of the atom Obj 2.3 Explain the laws of conservation of mass, definite proportions, and multiple proportions. Democritus (400 B.C.), an ancient Greek, suggested matter was made up of small particles called atoms and thus developed the first atomic theory (but didn't test this theory). Lavoisier (1700s) found that the masses before and after a chemical reaction were always equal, leading to the Law of conservation of mass. Proust (1700s) found that a given compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass, leading to the Law of definite proportions. Dalton (early 1800s) found that if two compounds contain the same elements, the masses of the elements combine in small whole number ratios, leading to his Law of multiple proportions. Dalton verified the existence of atoms with experimental evidence. Dalton tied his ideas together with Democritus's, Lavoisier's, and Proust's to develop a revived atomic theory. Obj 2.4 List the postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical. (Modified in Modern Atomic Theory) Atoms of different elements have different properties (including different masses). Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine. In a given compound, the relative number and kind of atoms are constant. Obj 2.5 Contrast the modern atomic theory with Dalton’s The Modern Atomic Theory modifies Dalton’s Theory (Dalton was unaware of subatomic particles): Atoms are made up of smaller (subatomic) particles, including protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by electrons in an “electron cloud.” (Note: electrons do not “orbit” the nucleus.) The mass of an element’s atoms can vary due to different numbers of neutrons. These differently massed atoms of the same element are called isotopes. The developments that led to the modern atomic theory were: Thomson (late 1800s) showed that atoms were made of smaller particles; characterized electrons and protons. Rutherford (early 1900s) proved with his gold foil experiment that protons are densely packed in a nucleus. Chadwick (1932) discovered the neutron. Obj 2.6 Illustrate the modern model of an atom Atoms are the smallest particles that retain the identity of a substance. Atoms themselves are made of three major subatomic particles: Protons: Positively charged subatomic particles densely packed in an atom’s nucleus, the number of which determines the atom’s identity. Each proton has a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit). Neutrons: Uncharged subatomic particles also densely packed in an atom’s nucleus. The number of an element’s neutrons may vary slightly from atom to atom (resulting in atoms of the same element with different masses called isotopes). Each neutron also has a mass of 1 amu. Electrons: Negatively charged subatomic particles widely dispersed in an “electron cloud” surrounding the nucleus (they don't circle the nucleus like planets around the sun). The number of electrons always equals the number of protons in a neutral atom. The mass of an electron is much less than that of a proton or neutron and essentially makes no contribution to the atom’s mass.

The number of protons determines the identity of the element. Atomic number is given in the Periodic Chart. Mass number: the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The mass number is not in the Periodic Chart. Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons. Atomic mass: the average mass of the isotopes of an element, reflecting the relative abundance of each isotope. Obj 2.9 Determine the number of valance electrons an atom has by analyzing the element's position in the periodic table. Valance electrons are those at the highest energy level. These are the electrons that are most reactive and are involved in chemical reactions. Because number of valance electrons determines how an atom will react, the period table is arranged in such a way that elements with the same number of valance electrons are aligned in vertical rows (called families or groups).

To draw a Lewis dot structure: 1. 2. Use the element's symbol to represent everything but the valance electrons. Draw dots representing valance electrons on the four sides of the symbol (right, bottom, left, and top). Draw one per side for the first 4, then double up until all valance electrons are accounted for. Obj 2.11 Provide the name and symbol of the 14 most common elements (more will follow).

Some Laws to Know Lavoisier (1700s) found that the masses before and after a chemical reaction were always equal, leading to the Law of conservation of mass. If 112 g of iron react with 96 g of oxygen, 208 g of rust will result. 4Fe + 3O2 2Fe2O3 224 g + 96 g 320 g Proust (1700s) found that a given compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass, leading to the Law of definite proportions. In Fe2O3, no matter how large or small a sample, 70% of the mass will be iron and 30% will be oxygen. Dalton (early 1800s) found that if two compounds contain the same elements, the masses of the elements combine in small whole number ratios, leading to his Law of multiple proportions. 16 grams of oxygen combine chemically with 2 g of hydrogen to form water (H2O). 32 grams of oxygen combine with 2 g of hydrogen to form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The mass ratios of oxygen that combine with a given amount of hydrogen is 1:2. Names to Know Democritus 1st to suggest matter was made of atoms Lavoisier Law of conservation of mass Proust Law of definite proportions Dalton Law of multiple proportions Dalton Thomson 1st to use experimental evidence to support an atomic model (Dalton’s Atomic Thoery) Characterized electrons and protons Rutherford Demonstrated that protons are in nucleus Chadwick Discovered the neutron ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Wavelength () = distance between peaks or troughs of an emitted wave. In meters (m, cm, pm, etc.) or Ångstroms (1Å = 10-10m). Frequency (v) = number of wave cycles per sec. 1 cycle/sec = 1 Hertz (Hz). In calculations use “/sec”. (Note: the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency.) Formula relating frequency to wavelength: v = c/ (c = 3.00 x 108 m, the speed of light) 1. The yellow light given off by a sodium lamp has a wavelength of 589.2 nm. What is the frequency of this radiation? c = v can be written v = c/ v = 3.00 x 108 m/s x 589.2 nm 109 nm 1m v = 5.09 x 1014 Hz (= cycles/sec) ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Energy (E) is absorbed or emitted in packets called quanta (singular: quantum) and is directly related to frequency, according to Planck’s Quantum Theory. (Note: the greater the frequency, the greater the energy) Formula relating frequency to energy: E = vh (h = 6.626 x 10-34 J/Hz, Planck’s constant) 2. Calculate the smallest increment of energy (a quantum) that can be emitted or absorbed at a frequency of 5.00 x 1013 Hz. E = hv E = (6.626 x 10-34 J/Hz)( 5.00 x 1013 Hz+) E = 3.31 x 10-20 J 3. What is the wavelength of the energy described in #2? c = v can be written = 3.00 x 108 m/sec 5.00 x 1013/sec = c/v = 6.00 x 10-6 m Formula relating wavelength to frequency and energy: E = hv = hc/ wavelength |---------| Increasing energy Increasing frequency Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Radio (including radar and television) Infrared (heat) Red ( = 700 nm) Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet ( = 400 nm) Ultraviolet X rays Gamma Visible light (Roy G. Biv) Decreasing wavelength amplitude | | --cycle-- speed of light (c) 3.00 x 108 m/sec Electromagnetic, or radiant, energy is transferred by waves that travel at the speed of light, and are characterized by wavelength (, lambda) and frequency (v, nu). When exposed to a certain intensity of energy atoms will absorb some of it and become “excited.” When the atom returns to its ground state (its lowest energy state), this energy will be released as a pattern of radiant energy. The wavelength patterns absorbed or emitted are unique for every type of substance and can be used to identify and quantify a sample’s atoms. The characteristic set of energy wavelengths of a substance is called its spectrum. The study of the relationships between radiant energy and matter is spectroscopy which can be used to identify elements. Atomic Structure: Chapter 4 What is an atom? The smallest particle of an element. What are some characteristics of atoms? According to Dalton’s Atomic Theory (early 1800s): Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical. Atoms of different elements have different properties (including different masses). Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine. In a given compound, the relative number and kind of atoms are constant. What are some characteristics accepted since Dalton? Atoms are made up of smaller (subatomic) particles, including protons and neutrons (which are made up of even smaller particles), and electrons (which are believed to be indivisible). The mass of an element’s atoms can vary due to different numbers of neutrons. These differently massed atoms of the same element are called isotopes. Major Subatomic Particles Nucleons: subatomic particles densely packed in the atom’s tiny nucleus. Protons and neutrons. Protons: Positively charged subatomic particles densely packed in an atom’s nucleus, the number of which determine the atom’s identity. Each proton has a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit). Neutrons: Uncharged subatomic particles also densely packed in an atom’s nucleus. The number of an element’s neutrons may vary slightly from atom to atom (resulting in atoms of the same element with different masses called isotopes. Each neutron also has a mass of 1 amu. Electrons: subatomic particles widely dispersed in an “electron cloud” surrounding the nucleus. The number of electrons always equals the number of protons in a neutral atom. The mass of an electron is much less than that of a proton or neutron and thus essentially makes no contribution to the atom’s mass. Atomic Number, Mass Number, and Atomic Mass Atomic number: the number of protons in an atom. The number of protons determines the identity of the element. The atomic number is indicated with the symbol Z. In the Periodic Chart, the atomic number is located above the element’s symbol. How many protons does Oxygen (O) have? How many protons does Carbon (C) have? How many electrons does Sodium (Na) have? Mass number: the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in an atom. The mass number is indicated with the symbol A and is not in the Periodic Chart. Mass number - atomic number = ? Isotopes of an atom have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Example isotopes: Carbon-12 (with 6 protons, 6 neutrons) Carbon-14 (with 6 protons, 8 neutrons) These isotopes can be indicated as 12 6C and 14 6C Atomic Mass Atomic mass: the average of the masses of the isotopes of that element, reflecting the relative abundance of each isotope. Atomic Mass Unit (amu) = of the mass 12 6C of . To calculate the average atomic mass of an element: 1. 2. 3. 4. Find the percentage of each isotope’s mass number. Convert the percentages to portions of 1 (97% = 0.97) Multiply each nuclide’s portion by the nuclide’s mass number. Add the products. Example: The relative abundance in nature for the isotopes of nitrogen are 99.63% nitrogen-14, and 0.37% nitrogen-15. What is the average atomic mass of nitrogen? 0.9963 x 14 amu = 13.9482 amu 0.0037 x 15 amu = 0.0555 amu 13.9482 amu + 0.0555 amu = 14.0037 amu Practice: Naturally occurring chlorine is 75.53% chlorine-35, with a mass of 34.969 amu, and 24.47% chlorine-37 which has a mass of 36.966 amu. What is the average atomic mass to four significant figures? Energy Considerations of the Atom Radiant or electromagnetic energy (for instance light) can be absorbed or emitted (given off) by atoms or molecules. When exposed to a certain intensity of energy they will absorb some of it and become “excited.” This energy can then be released as a pattern of radiant energy. The wavelength patterns absorbed or emitted is unique for each substance and can be used to identify and quantify it. The characteristic set of energy wavelengths of a substance is called its spectrum. The study of the relationships between radiant energy and matter is spectroscopy. Radiant energy has wavelike and particle-like characteristics. Wavelike characteristics of radiant energy: Speed (c): 3.00 x 108 m/s (the speed of light in a vacuum). Frequency (v, nu): the number of wave cycles that occur in a unit of time. Unit: hertz (Hz), which is cycles per second. Wavelength (, lambda): distance between peaks in units of meters (m, nm, cm, etc.) or Ångstroms (Å = 10-10m). Types of energy waves arranged by decreasing wavelengths: radio (= 30 m), radar, microwave, infrared, visible light: red ( = 700 nm), orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (= 400 nm) – notice the colors spell out the name Roy G. Biv), ultraviolet, X ray, gamma rays (= 10-3 nm). Particle-like characteristics of radiant energy: Planck’s quantum theory states that there is such a thing as a smallest allowable gain or loss of energy, this packet of energy is called a quantum (plural: quanta), represented by “E.” The Relationship Among Energy Characteristics E = hv = hc/ E = energy (J) h = Planck’s constant 6.626 x 10-34 J/Hz v = frequency (in cycles/sec = Hz) c = speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m/sec = wavelength (in units of length) Notice that three useful equations can be derived from the relationship given above, all of which can be rearranged algebraicly to solve for whatever is asked: E = hv E = hc/ v = c/ Energy Considerations of the Atom Sample Problems 1. The yellow light given off by a sodium lamp has a wavelength of 589.2 nm. What is the frequency of this radiation? c = v can be written v = c/ v = 3.00 x 108 m/s x 589.2 nm 109 nm 1m v = 5.09 x 1014 Hz (= cycles/sec) 2. Calculate the smallest increment of energy (a quantum) that can be emitted or absorbed at a frequency of 5.00 x 1013 Hz. E = hv E = (6.626 x 10-34 J/Hz)( 5.00 x 1013 Hz+) E = 3.31 x 10-20 J 4.
